Nothingness

Hiya!

Did I decide on a deep and potentially meaningful title to draw you into reading my blog?

Maybe

Did it work?

Well I don't know

Let me tell you, my life has been a lazy 'bleurgh' recently.

Has anything interesting happened since I've been away from here?

Yep, I've been doing a few different things...

Have I written about them?

Nope

Am I guilty?

Sure

Laziness and procrastination - horrible things that I have yet to overcome

During my hiatus, things have happened:
  1. I watched Cinderella (the 2015 film) - it was alright, though the beginning dragged on a bit too much
  2. I stood in the middle of a field for one and a half hours, on a dangerously thin plank of wood placed on dangerously thin metal framing, for a photo
  3. I'm starting to learn the wonderful and exciting Ancient Greek, the language of Patroclus and Achilles, my babies (read The Song of Achilles is you haven't and have your heart dance every time they're mentioned <3)
  4. I visited a university open day and gained a tote bag, wristband, pens, and a stress ball out of it. A purple 'business and management' stress ball...jealousy doesn't look good on you... ;)
  5. A strange and terrifying discovery was made - there's a restaurant in Chinatown which my friend and I were considering eating at...until we realised that to go in, you had to knock on the black door with a massive knocker, and after entering, the door would be locked behind you... Creepy D:
  6. I learnt a part of the actual 'Man Up' dance sequence in Book of Mormon, taught by a professional dancer who's currently in the shows, and I loved every second of this experience
  7. I started volunteering at a local nursing home, which has some very interesting characters...
So yeah, 'things have happened' indeed.

And obviously, the daily updates by moi are not a thing anymore... :/

There's a difficult balance between wanting to give you good content but having you wait a while, or giving you considerably less good content but uploading every day.

Hmm, I'll think about it


I love you

Paris Adventures Day 5 (16/8/15) - Visiting Everything

Hiya!

Day five was...busy. I went to all the touristy places there was to go and travelled all around Paris. And with great 'touristing', comes great photos.

Or at least a great amount of photos - knock yourself out ;)

Sacre-Coeur




Views from the top :)



Sainte-Chapelle

The most amazing stained-glass windows...





Notre-Dame






Also has very amazing windows



Jardin du Luxembourg (Luxembourg Garden)



Pantheon
(The Paris one!)







Down the spiral staircase to...

The crypt where Marie and Pierre Curie lie (among others) <3


Centre Georges Pompidou
The famous coloured pipes


I just thought this photo was very 'cool' - taken in front of the Pompidou :)





These remind me of teeth with cavities...


Oh, this? This is only the best painting in the whole wide world.
What do you mean 'why'? I know it's not much to look at but-
It's called 'Achilles Mourning the Death of Patroclus'...
It makes my fangirling heart ache and squeal simultaneously.


This is a cute room :)




Caterpillar!


Ok sooo...you're open?



Eiffel Tower
At night




I love you
